This large Italian tiger sculpture from the 1970s, crafted in resin, stands out through its modernist approach to animal form and its bold, polychrome treatment. The smooth, subtly glossy surface highlights the vibrant orange coloration, with seamless gradient transitions toward yellow on the body’s underside and legs. Hand-painted black stripes and red undertones define the piece, while a meticulously detailed head—with greenish eyes, beige and black markings, and teeth rendered with care against the vivid hues of the open mouth—captures the animal’s predatory energy. The statue’s low, prowling pose, muscular tension, and parted jaws evoke a sense of dynamic movement, echoing the theatrical and nature-inspired emphasis of 1970s Italian design. The finish is uniform, free of visible seams or assembly points, attesting to careful production standards. The overall condition is very good: minor, localized paint wear and subtle signs of age, but no cracks, chips, or repairs.
This sculpture delivers the lively tone of its era—the 1970s, a time when Italian design embraced pop-culture references and fearless color.
